Comment 3 for bug 496635

I updated my Ubuntu 9.10. Now I can't get my Canon MP600 to work at all, despite downloading the two cnijfilter files and installing them. Error message: Printer 'MP600' requires the 'pstocanonij' program but it is not currently installed. Yet when I look in Synaptic under cnijfilter-common it tells me it is installed in: /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstocanonij. I have also installed cnijfilter-mp600 2.70-3. So, why can't I get the printer to work?

I had it working with iP4200 CUPS but this won't work for now. Error message is "/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstopdf failed" I am really psd-off with canon printers! I have had no end of trouble with my MP600 since going to Ubuntu as my sole operating system. I've tried all the blogspot forum suggestions to no avail. Canon are no help either.

Can anyone help us poor people who have this trouble?
